31 overs in a row! Brilliant Shoaib Bashir spell gives England control in Ranchi | India vs England | 4th Test Day 2

Join Mark Butcher, Yas Rana and the rest of the Wisden Cricket Weekly Podcast team for a weekly digest of the biggest stories from both English cricket and the wider world game.

Sports

The English game was rocked this week after the sudden passing of Worcestershire left-arm spinner Josh Baker. Baker, though just 20, had already made 47 senior appearances for the county, and last season scored the run that sealed Worcestershire’s promotion back to the top flight. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone associated with the club.

After a study undertaken by the PCA revealed that two-thirds of county players believe the current domestic schedule is unfit for purpose, Yas Rana, Ben Gardner, Katya Witney and Jim Wallace address the challenges and discuss what needs to change.
Elsewhere in the show there’s a County Championship round-up, reflection on England women’s latest T20I squad, Scotland qualifying for the World Cup and much more.
